UAD ATR 102 is one of the sweetest tape saturator imho, amazing on busses.ītw, you will have better results by using many subtle stages with different colors and processes vs extreme values with one plugin. Satin is doing some miracles with the low mids, it brings some warmness, I know it's on Tchad Blake mix bus. As I mentioned in another post True Iron got great feedbacks you should give it a try, but it's the one knob preamp approach, with 2 colors. Kush Omega 458A does the job sometimes (beef the sound), but has no control except parallel volume. The Culture Vulture (it's UAD) got a nice color as well. Saturn is less beefy but can do subtle job.
#Izotope trash 2 vs saturn driver#
Trash2 is very efficient to resurrect dull sounds too: Use Distort->Blues Driver for the highs, and Saturation-> Tape Saturation for the low and mids, the both with parallel processing (play with the mix knob and the drive, solo your bands will help you to set them). I saw many engineers using it (ie: Alan Meyerson). It's often my 1st try for adding harmonics and cut through the mix. I can see it being used for many different sounds- not only genres like drum and bass, but you could get some fantastic rock guitar tones or electric bass sounds out of it, could saturate something akin to a House stab synth or a trancy lead with it a bit if you have the CPU power- I do not regret this purchase at all.If I had to just pick one, I would go for Decapitator. It's got everything all in one- a pre-EQ 'filter' that has many different band modes and filter types, eight distortion algorithms allowable at once (two per band) with many algorithms to choose from that can easily be reshaped, the Convolution engine with anything from animal noises to amp modeling to plain ol' "Creepy" and easy stereo width controls, another filter-EQ section, a really great multi-band gate+compressor that's very easy to visually see what's going on in addition to easily set up side-chaining, and even some vintage delays– If I spent a bit more time with sound design, I can certainly see Trash being a monster plug-in for anything bass oriented. Through that together in 10 minutes with my Korg R3 and Trash 2- please excuse the piss poor samples and piss poor dynamics. Always love their customer service and prices. Welp, considering how I'm stupid and didn't realize vendors other than the manufacturer sold digital downloads of software, it took me a bit to realize that I could get Trash 2 for cheaper than $250, but eventually found good ol' Sweetwater was offering it for a decent price. Logic's own Overdrive is great too.as is the Soundtoys Decapitator.ĭistortion is a very personal taste so YMMV. Other suggestions: Nomad Factory Magnetic is a great tape-sim and saturator - perfect for more gentle treatment.even the venerable old CamelPhat can do some interesting things. Its multiband stuff is also very useable - much better than Saturn - I often use it for adding high frequency interest to lifeless sources or injecting some attitude into synths etc. Very good phase-coherence between wet and dry signals so its great for adding a bit of grit to a clean signal. I haven't used it extensively but find it a bit unsatisfying. Saturn: I have to say I was disappointed with this plugin. Band filters aren't the best sounding but it can work miracles if you persist with it.
Ohmicide: capable of very cool and unique sounds but frustratingly hard to control or adapt to suit a specific situation.
I have used all of these plugins - quick summary of my thoughts on each:
